Thank you to the PTO for their support of this production! We are lucky to have such a devoted group of parent volunteers to support our efforts each year.
Parent Volunteers: Thank you does not seem like enough to thank the parents for all that you do to support this program. Without your help with chaperoning, party planning, driving back and forth to rehearsals, meal planners, evening projects, and all of the little details that make the production run so smoothly, THANK YOU! We couldn't have a successful program without all of the hands that go into making every detail come alive.
Some personal notes from the Director:
Selecting Mary Poppins was an easy choice for this group of young performers. Little did I know that Disney was releasing Mary Poppins Returns which created even greater excitement for the show. This group of cast and crew have worked very hard to put a magical production together for all of you to enjoy.
Thank you, Ms. Jennifer Brush, for being my sidekick in this musical adventure. I really couldn't do it without you. I know I never have to worry about the musical details because of your amazing talent!
Finally, to my family: Brad Henry once said, "Families are the compass that guides us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights." Thank you for always providing the inspiration I needed to make this another great production. Without your help with everything from costumes to set design to props, I could never have done this without you. Also, thank you for being patient with me throughout these last three months of long hours. Mom and Dad, you've always taught me to put my whole heart into everything I do. Thank you for always being and model of putting your whole heart into everything you do. Rob, Michelle, Elizabeth, Anthony, Alex, Maggie, Lily, and Frankie, thank you for helping with all of the details that make the show special for my students. I love you all.
